The Analyst is calling these crypto wallets the biggest HODLers. Accompanied by his tweet is a graph that shows Huobi Group is the leading crypto exchange wallet that HODLs the most Bitcoin. Then the second place is hotly contested by BitMEX and Binance.

HODL – a common old crypto term

It is among the most popular vocabulary in the crypto community. The name is marking its yearly birthday party on December 18. This word was born on Bitcoin Talk around six years ago at a time when Bitcoin was crashing when it was rallied to get to $1,000.
